Hi...the recent versions of FF 63.xx have "underlined star" icon, which replaced the dual icons of earlier versions.
The star of previous version was equal to Ctrl-D...bookmark this page. VERY convenient. This is no longer available.
Or I can't figure out how to restore. Will you folks developing this product quit messing around with the user interface? You're loosing long time users like me. Please think twice.

I created a number of tiles in the New Tab 'top sites' section and pinned them so they wouldn't get replaced. Clearly, pinning the tiles wasn't enough to prevent Firefox from auto-updating thumbnails linked to the tiles. Under 'about:config', I set 'browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled' to 'false'. The browser keeps updating thumbnails on the New Tab, however some web-sites now get locally stored logos available via 'xul.dll'. Is there a way to block auto-updating thumbnails once and for all? (Firefox Desktop, 63.0.x, Windows 7)

I have the option "Restore previous session" enabled, and the option "browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab" true. With these options set, when I close the final tab, the Firefox window closes as expected. However when I re-launch Firefox with the desktop icon, the last closed tab opens itself again. Instead, there should be a blank/home tab open. Since I closed the *tab* and not the * window*, the "previous session" should be empty. Is there any way to enable this behavior?

Hello,
When I want to use Firefox's adaptive view tool accessible through the inspect element (right click on window to access it) no longer works on latest Firefox versions (63.0.1, 63.0.2, 63.0.3) on PC with Windows 10. however it works fine on Mac. When I click on the adaptive view icon (Ctrl + Shift +M) all the content of the html page disappears and leaves a blank page.

All of the sudden Firefox has started autofilling the address bar with URLS I've never visited.

For example. I regularly type "weather" in the address bar to do a quick google search for the local forecast. It used to be that I only needed to type "wea" and hit enter as it would autofill "weather".

Now, it autofills to something called "weasner.com" and then "weather-widget.apk.black", neither of which appear in my search history. Since the second one includes the word weather, I have to not only type the full word out but then erase the irrelevant part of the erroneous url.

Where did this come from? Is there some way to turn it off and restrict Firefox to only suggesting terms I have searched before?

First, I apologize if this is the wrong forum. I have not found a solution for this question and I'm hoping it's something very basic that I'm missing.

I'm using the policies.json for integrated authentication for our organization's Sharepoint site and other apps. This is working for Windows but I can't seem to get the authentication to work on our Macs.

On my test Mac, I've distributed the same policies.json I used for Windows to the following location (/​A​p​p​l​i​c​a​t​i​o​n​s​/​f​i​r​e​f​o​x​.​a​p​p​/​c​o​n​t​e​n​t​s​/​r​e​s​o​u​r​c​e​s​/ ​d​i​s​t​r​ibution).

I see the settings in about:config and about:policies. However, I'm still getting the credential login window when I go to our internal sites. Our Macs are on either Sierra or High Sierra (we're just testing Mojave) and we use Centrify for our Macs AD management.

Please let me know if you need additional information to help find a solution. Thanks!

Hello,

I would like to inquire about the possibility of what I want to achieve in the question referenced. Google Chrome has the ability to block extensions, with a whitelist that you can maintain to allow specific ones that our org requires. I am trying to replicate this in Firefox, as we would like to support both browsers, but I am coming up empty.

I tried different methods using json policy configuration, but I can only globally block installations, there is no whitelist option. The closest I can get is to install specific ones, but that list will get pretty large and bloated. I don't want all our users to have a billion add-ons installed just to get around this obstacle. Any insight would be appreciated

While moving old SENT emails on my computer, I notice that I can receive email envelops, but can no longer open them and cannot read the message. ERROR MESSAGE: SERVER IMAP.FUSE.NET HAS DISCONNECTED. THE SERVER MAY HAVE GONE DOWN OR THERE MAY BE A NETWORK PROBLEM. I am using THUNDERBIRD version 60.3.1
On my wife's identical computer and setup, I can open the received envelops.
I did a computer restart, a THUNDERBIRD restart, and I uninstalled THUNDERBIRD and downloaded a new copy. None of this solved my problem.

Win7, Firefox...vers..whatever the latest is for 11/19/18
CONSTANT CRASHING, CRASHES WHILE I'M TRYING TO GO TO HELP>DISABLE ADDONS...

Several months ago, I upgraded and it started crashing. I reverted back to an older version, ran great. Was resistant to any efforts to upgrade. Now, it will not let me revert back. I have had about 30 crashes in a period of about 5 hours.

Please offer me some ideas about what is going on??
what to do???

Hi,
After updating TB to 60.3.1 32-bit, I opened the client and clicked 'get messages' for a pop3 account. TB seemed to freeze for a second or two, a message came up something about that a rule couldnt be applied because a folder didnt exist. And then I noticed that a normally filtered paypal email was placed in the inbox, because the 'paypal' folder had disappeared.

Ive check the profile folder: the 'paypal' file is absent, though paypal.msf file and paypal.mozmsgs folder are still there.
Also, the previous contents of paypal.mozmsgs are there up to, but not including, todays paypal email (when it evidently bugged out) are intact according to the date stamps of the folder.

Ive also ruled out that the paypal folder wasnt dropped accidentally into another folder.

1. Any idea how to reconstitute the paypal folder using the remaining paypal.msf and paypal.mozmsgs folder?

Previous answers to this question lead one to incorrect menus if you're running the current Thunderbird build. This is the current (60.3.1) procedure for getting rid of that blank line: Click on Menu (3 horizontal black lines in upper right of Thunderbird screen); HOVER (don't click) on Options; Click on 2nd menu Options; Click on Composition; Open General tab; Uncheck "Use Paragraph format instead of Body Text by default"; Click OK Now <enter> will still start a new paragraph, but without a blank line between paragraphs!

Since firefox update version around start of 2018, whenever I open a link from another app into firefox the link opens in a new tab in the furthest back background/minimized window - not the frontmost active window. This always happens when firefox is automatically launched by clicking on the link.
This problem does not happen if firefox is already open (ie. link correctly opens in new tab in the frontmost/active window).
Very annoying as I have several windows with tabs minimised in background. This never happened before this year's updates.

Is this a bug or is there a config setting that can tell firefox to always open link tab in active/frontmost widnow?
